Narrative:
I was landing at beverly airport. A gust of wind got under the wing. I applied full power for intended go around. The wind shifted and I was unable to maintain directional control down the runway, so I cut the power and headed for a nearby field since it seemed the safest thing to do. The left wingtip and aileron were damaged -- no personal injury.
